Since the solution that you just implemented involes many different systems, it is essential to know how you can monitor the end to end flow. In this activity, we will highlight three significant points that can be used for monitoring: the ThingPark Community device dashboard, the TPX connection dashboard and the Android application itself.
For each device, ThingPark Community presents a dashboard with the overall device status, the list of active connections to backend services, a count of uplink and downlink LoRaWAN® packets and a packet logger.
In step 6, we were monitoring activity at LoRaWAN® level, in step 7 we are monitoring specifically the backend connection. The TPX console provides the status of the connection (is the connection successful) and also provides a count of MQTT level messages to (uplinks) and from (downlinks) the MQTT Broker (mosquitto.org).
The live data should be shown on the mobile application. The information received from the MQTT Broker will be displayed automatically on the application, so you can verify that the data sent by the IoT device has arrived on your phone and that all the steps you performed are working perfectly.
